Not an issue, a question re: require()

[walterdavis]

First off, this is truly awesome code, very clearly written, and I hope to crib some of its style (if not substance) in other work I am doing.

Second, in the "browser" version, I see reference right up at the top to

require("color-convert")

and the like. I am of the opinion that require is a Node thing, not part of the JavaScript language. Is my impression wrong? If not, how does this work in a non-node setting? I don't see require() defined anywhere in the code.

Thanks again for writing this!

You're right, require() is a built-in thing in node.js and not in the browser, but you can define your own require() function in the browser if you want. That's what the browserify module does. It takes all the modules in the directory, squashes them into one file and appends a require function definition. You can then use this file in the browser just as you would from node.
